First, combine all the ingredients for the marinade. Then, pour the mixture over the cauliflower and leave it to sit.
In a big jar with a lid mix the water, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Cover and shake until thoroughly combined. Add the carrots, shake again, and let it sit for 10 min approx.
To prepare the cauliflower, heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Place the cauliflower in the skillet, reduce the heat, and cook for approximately 10 minutes on each side. Ensure that the cauliflower is cooked adequately but still has a firm texture. Take care not to overcook the garlic.
To make banh-mi, start by slicing the buns or baguettes in half lengthwise. Warm the bread in a skillet or oven at 300ºF for a few minutes. This will help to enhance the flavor and texture of the bread.
Apply vegan mayo on the inside of the top and bottom of the bun. Then, add cucumber, herbs, pickled carrots, sliced jalapeño, and finally top it off with some delicious cauliflower.
Notes
To prepare the vegan spicy mayo just mix 1 tablespoon of sriracha or garlic chili sauce into 1/4 cup vegan mayo
